I consider these pieces to be both historical fun things, and I consider them to be survival types of weapons.
You could defeat "The Gorn" with them if it came to it! (STAR TREK!)
I plan on learning to load my Remmie with only what is possible, on foot, while walking. I might even have a go at loading while jogging as I like to run.
I of course will have to try loading while riding a bike as I love to ride bikes as well.
